It looks like former WWE star John Cena is well on his way to becoming a bona fide action star as Dwayne Johnson announces he’ll headline the upcoming The Janson Directive from Universal Pictures.
Cena will star as Paul Janson, a former Consular Ops agent turned private security consultant.
Cena and Johnson share a history, working alongside each other as professional wrestlers in the WWE, and Johnson seems thrilled he’s able to work with Cena once again.
Now that he’s landed the lead in The Janson Directive and the previously announced lead in Duke Nukem, it seems that Cena will probably segue away from his wrestling career and focus entirely on his acting career.
